LG LAB540W SoundPlate review

When it comes to sound bars and other home-audio solutions, you need to consider what you'll mostly use it for: music or watching movies? Most of these devices perform decidedly better with one type of content, and unless you want to invest in a setup...

The LG LAB540W SoundPlate is unusually thin and stylish, capable of supporting most TVs up to 55 inches. It packs built-in Blu-ray, Wi-Fi, streaming apps, and Bluetooth into its small frame, as well as offering a wireless subwoofer for more low-end...

The small drivers lack the warmth of the larger woofers on other sound bars and can sound small in scale. The faux-surround sound effect isn't as successful as other sound bars. And at $600, it's expensive, especially since not everyone wants or needs...

The LG LAB540W SoundPlate packs Blu-ray and Smart TV functionality into an impossibly thin audio package, but you'll pay for the all-in-one convenience.

LG LAB540W Sound Plate review

We get our first proper listen of LG's upcoming LAB540W Sound Plate, the speaker bar that will replace your TV's integrated speakers and your Blu-ray player too

We were impressed with the LAB540W's clarity and smart TV features, and will be interested to see how it performs in a small living room rather than a trade show floor; we can't wait to give one a full review as soon as we get it into the lab....
